Cell wall of spores of Trichoderma viride contains polymers similar to those of mycelial cell wall, such as β-(1 → 3), β-(1 → 6)glucans and protein, but chitin, always present in the mycelium, cannot be found in spores. Melanin, which in other fungi appears associated with chitin, replaces this polymer in the spore wall of T. viride and is located in the outermost layer. Attempts to characterize the pigment of the spore wall indicate that it is a non-indolic melanin-like polyphenol.

An initial step in haustorium formation is the contact of a terminal intercellular mycelial cell with the wall of a host cell. The former differentiates to form a haustorial mother cell having a thickened wall in the region of contact. A penetration peg develops in the thickened region of the cell wall; it elongates, penetrates the host cell wall, and extends into the lumen of the host cell. A dark-staining region, the neck ring, develops in the wall of the penetration peg and persists throughout subsequent stages of development. The distal end of the penetration peg expands to form a somewhat spherical haustorial body. Subsequently, one to several lobes form on, and extend from, the body of the haustorium. The more ephemeral stages of development are the initiation of the spherical haustorial body and the elongation of the penetration peg. The less ephemeral stages are prepenetration and early postpenetration of the host cell wall and the intermediate stages of haustorial expansion.

AbstractThe oldest cell-like structures on Earth are preserved in silicified lagoonal, shallow sea or hydrothermal sediments, such as some Archean formations in Western Australia and South Africa. Previous studies concentrated on the search for organic fossils in Archean rocks. Observations of silicified bacteria (as silica minerals) are scarce for both the Precambrian and the Phanerozoic, but reports of mineral bacteria finds, in general, are increasing. The problems associated with the identification of authentic fossil bacteria and, if possible, closer identification of bacteria type can, in part, be overcome by experimental fossilisation studies. These have shown that not all bacteria fossilise in the same way and, indeed, some seem to be very resistent to fossilisation. This paper deals with a transmission electron microscope investigation of the silicification of four species of bacteria commonly found in the environment. The Gram positiveBacillus laterosporusand its spore produced a robust, durable crust upon silicification, whereas the Gram negativePseudomonas fluorescens, Ps. vesicularis, andPs. acidovoranspresented delicately preserved walls. The greater amount of peptidoglycan, containing abundant metal cation binding sites, in the cell wall of the Gram positive bacterium, probably accounts for the difference in the mode of fossilisation. The Gram positive bacteria are, therefore, probably most likely to be preserved in the terrestrial and extraterrestrial rock record.

Calcium ions in the concentration range 5-100 mM inhibit auxin-induced cell elongation and wall extensibility of plant stems. Inhibition of wall extensibility requires that the tissue be living; growth inhibition cannot be explained on the basis of cross-linking of carboxyl groups of cell wall uronides by calcium ions. In this study, ultrastructural evidence was sought for an interaction of calcium ions with some component other than the wall at the cell surface of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) hypocotyls.
